They are all ordinary people; if these people were to fight, they would definitely be no match for them.
Before Li Baichuan could even react, the other side was already terrified and running away in panic.
By the time the group came to their senses, a crowd of onlookers had already gathered at the entrance.
Even the staff from the local street office came over.
Su Ti and Li Baichuan: "..."
What gives these people the audacity to stop them and force them to buy houses?
"Comrade, what's going on?" People from the street office over there rushed over after hearing that someone was causing trouble.
Seeing them standing in this uninhabited yard, a few years ago they might have had to hide.
But now that family has been exonerated, and even if there was some personal grudge, their family hasn't come back, so what's the point of all this fuss?
"Comrade, hello, we've been here before." Shi Tou recognized someone he'd seen before and stepped forward.
With so many people around, they can't just openly say they're there to buy a house.
"Oh, it's you guys. What's going on?" The people from the neighborhood office recognized Shi Tou.
I don't know where he found out that there were houses for sale in their area.
I've come here several times recently, and I even promised to bring people to see the house in the next couple of days, but they haven't taken it seriously.
Generally, no one dares to take this house, firstly because nobody knows if the policies from above will change.
If things were to revert back to normal, and the people who bought the houses were implicated with those individuals, then things would become very complicated.
Besides, this house is really uninhabitable. Who would be crazy enough to buy a house like this?
“I brought people to see the house, and I don’t know what happened, but the people next door rushed over and said that we had hit someone and demanded compensation.”
"They want us to buy their house again, and with so many of them blocking our way, we brothers are all scared."
Stone pointed at the people over there, and what he said made people feel quite helpless.
Anyone with eyes can see that those people are more afraid, right? You guys, except for the woman in the middle, all of you look fierce and menacing.
"No, we meant well. They called people over to beat us up." The woman was determined not to let them leave today.
Anyway, we have to get them to buy their house.
"That's hilarious. We're perfectly fine here. Your house is next door, right? If we wanted to beat you up, why would we come here instead of going to your house?"
"Or are you and your family just asking for a beating? You just want us to buy your house, don't you?"
"But whose money isn't earned through hard work? They won't let us leave if we don't buy it."
"Just because you called for reinforcements doesn't mean you're in the right. If we really wanted to fight, would you have stood here patiently?"
“You’re acting like you’re being wronged. Don’t take advantage of the fact that you live here to bully us outsiders.”
Li Baichuan is no longer the kind of person who doesn't know how to respond when someone says something to him.
There are two kids in his family who have been outwitting him since he was little, and he always gets bullied by them. Fortunately, he can say those things off the cuff now.
The people at the neighborhood office knew what was going on as soon as they heard it; everyone living in this neighborhood knew about the situation.
Many people know about the recent troubles that family has been causing, and everyone has heard that they want to sell their house.
But who would dare to buy it? If the other two sons cause trouble, it will be a real problem. Besides, most people can't afford to pay that much money.
Those who have the money wouldn't want to cause trouble for themselves; who dares to openly buy and sell houses these days?
Everyone is hoping to be allocated housing by their work unit. If they buy their own housing, what if something goes wrong, and some policy comes down that forces them to give it back?
Most people have money but hide it and dare not take it out. Once the news got out, no one came to inquire.
It's not easy to find someone looking at the house, no wonder this family is in such a hurry.
What they said makes sense. If they were here to cause trouble, why didn't they go to their house instead of coming to the neighbor's? I guess they came here to block people.
Everyone knew exactly what was going on, but they didn't know these people, and no one spoke up for them.
"Alright, everyone knows what's going on. If you keep causing trouble, we're going to call the police."
The people from the neighborhood committee had far more influence than the people from Shi Tou's side. The family dared not cause any more trouble and were practically begging them on their knees.
"They're all houses, but ours is better than theirs. Why can't you take a look at ours?"
The woman looked at Li Baichuan and thought that they would accept even if it was less money.
“Because I know there’s definitely something wrong with your house.” Li Baichuan’s bluntness remained unchanged from beginning to end.
In the past, people were blunt regardless of the occasion; now, they are blunt in a more subtle way, knowing what to say and what not to say.
He doesn't need to save face for people like that.
The family looked at each other and increasingly felt that this person was not simple; it seemed that he must have inquired before buying the house.
The thought that such a person might become their neighbor, and that they had offended him, made things even more difficult in the future.
“There’s nothing wrong with our house. It’s just that someone is trying to take it from us, so we have no choice but to sell it.”
"You're buying one anyway, so buying two shouldn't be a problem. Why don't you just buy them all at once? Once the two sides are connected, there'll be enough space for as many people to move in."
Since they already knew, the family didn't hide it and admitted it directly.
Those who can find out this information and have the ability to buy a house must have some family wealth.
They no longer need to worry about others causing trouble; this house is destined for them.
"You yourself said that someone wants to compete with you for the house. We bought your house, and you're free now, but are you going to let those people compete with us?"
"Do we look like suckers to you? Buying two sets is no problem for us. Only you guys would dare to say that."
"Our family has saved up so little money by scrimping and saving. How rich must your family be to say something like that?"
“I think there’s definitely something wrong with your family. They’re corrupt officials. We can’t afford your house.”
Li Baichuan knew all too well what these people were afraid of. If they didn't speak up, it would confirm that they weren't short of money, and that would leave them with leverage.
His wife said that he must never get carried away, no matter what.
Even considering the combined salaries of his grandfather, father, and himself and his wife, they are not short of money.
But if you admit it like that, there will be explanations later.
"You...you're talking nonsense." Those people saw that everyone's expressions had changed, and their eyes were full of suspicion.
I was so scared I didn't know what to do. Their family wasn't corrupt at all.
